In another video, the lions can be seen running towards him while he waits with a stick in hand. One of the guides joked: ‘Whenever they look at you, you must always smile because lions like happy meals’.
He captioned his video: ‘They came running towards us but I had a stick for protection’.

The videos garnered mixed responses from viewers, from awe to fear to scepticism about how it was made possible:
